We had some nice weather here today so I pushed it outside to rinse all the dust off before I start bolting bits and pieces back on. The sun poked out from behind the clouds at that moment so I took the opportunity to capture some of that sparkle.

Bolted the pedal box in along with the hydro boost/master cylinder assembly. Had to play around with shimming the bottom away from the bracket in order to clear the inner fender well due to the downward angle of this tub's firewall as compared to a factory tub. Also installed the throttle bell crank and test fit the steering column in order to check things and measure for the lower steering shaft.

Installed the heater box and the front dress on the engine. The heater box had a broken mounting stud, so to fix it I ground it down and drilled and tapped it, then threaded a bolt in with some JB weld and cut the head off. Cleaned the box up, gave it a little paint and bolted it in place.

The front dress went together fairly easily once I figured out which brackets went where (it's been a while since I removed them... 😁) along with a few new bolts and fasteners here and there.
